Where is Our Passion? How to Find a Cause Worth Fighting For + Advice from the Fighters of Cancer

Step 3: Deliver your passion.

No one appreciates a gift without thought behind it. It’s like getting socks from Grandma on Christmas when you really needed an upgrade from the iPhone 4 you cracked 2 years ago. With all the efforts in the world, it is never helpful to put energy in the wrong place, but that does not mean we shouldn’t be helpful.

“Everyone needs to be philanthropic, people need to give back. Find what is passionate for you and if cancer is something you find passionate, then get set up with us.” – Doctor Laurence Piro

Williams, Ellen Ziffren, Katie Couric and Kathleen Lobb. The late Laura Ziskin and the late Noreen Fraser are also co-founders.
